The PJCC is proud to embark on a multidisciplinary exploration of the weight of words and their consequences. Join us for learning, conversation, and a renewed commitment to contemplate our words, and stand up against hateful speech.

PJCC Art Gallery Presents
On the Consequences of Hate Speech, III

Group Gallery Show
September 11–November 24, 2019
Words have always had the potential to be a catalyst for civil discord. In the current climate, hate speech is increasingly prevalent, tearing apart the fabric of our communities in ever more violent and destructive ways. It passes from generation to generation by written and spoken word, inculcating attitudes of intolerance, antisemitism, racism and discrimination in both children and adults. This exhibit illuminates hate speech, its historically destructive manifestations, and its consequences for humanity. The exhibit also advocates the antidote: educating ourselves and taking responsibility to condemn hate speech in any form. In this respect, the show is both timely and timeless, resonating across ages and cultures.
